THE SAKUMA OFFER
Our offer is simple: we provide feeding during rainy season and a helping hand with seed, fertilizer, drying and storage facilities and in return we split the harvest 3 ways - a third saved for seed; a third for co-op members and a third to Hope to genrate an income for our interim care and kinship fostering programmes. It's an offer that's proving popular because we value womenshare our good fortune and give something back....
